What to know

  • Supreme Court gave Rajpal Yadav a final two-week deadline to deposit Rs 2 crore and propose a settlement plan for Rs 11 crore in outstanding dues from a 15-year-old cheque-bounce case.
  • The dispute stems from Rs 5 crore in film financing for Yadav's 2012 directorial venture Ata Pata Laapata; seven cheques issued by Yadav in 2013 were all dishonoured.
  • Yadav has been convicted by magisterial and sessions courts and had his conviction upheld by Delhi High Court, which sentenced him to three months imprisonment and noted his repeated non-compliance with payment commitments.
  • Court extended exemption from surrendering until October 5, 2026; the actor has already spent approximately four-and-a-half months in jail.

“His counsel sought another two weeks to present a concrete proposal for clearing the outstanding dues and said the actor would deposit Rs 2 crore to demonstrate his bona fides.”
